There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks. Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard. Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.

how we disappear by Alessandra Olanow #NationalPoetryDay
 HOW WE DISAPPEAR

I am in the store touching things.
Linen napkins, a blue bowl.
The world is on fire and I am choosing between two kinds of soap.

Everyone here is doing this
filling carts with small comforts
while somewhere a child goes to bed hungry,
while the earth heats,
while men make decisions about who gets to live.

I know what this is, this careful arranging
 while everything collapses.
This is how we survive.
And also how we disappear.

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action. But this kind of ambition and love for the country, this kind of personal but positive vision is what takes people with you. How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Photo of Burnham waving to the audience in front of HOPE AGAIN backdrop Burnham was not going to die wondering. He knew he might be delivering one of the longest suicide notes in history, but he did it anyway. Because he couldn't not do it. Better to go down remaining true to his principles than being slowly airbrushed out of history like the previous six prime ministers. Failures all. Andy was prepared to burn through all his political capital right there in Liverpool, right then. Not just for his own legacy but for a country he wanted to rebuild. It was the only way he could look himself in the mirror.
Honour his parents.

That’s not to say I want the pension to decrease/diminish, I just want all ages and situations to be treated as a valid national concern, not just one age group. The younger generation is struggling and I’m sick of it not getting a fraction of the airtime that the state pension does.
